Saira Banu THE QUEEN, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE... twitted Dulip Kumar
It was like a fairy tale romance for the ‘king of tragedy’ Dilip Kumar (aka Yusuf Khan) and Bollywood diva Saira Banu. As the former actress herself recalls and confesses, she was all in love with Dilip Kumar right from the age of 12. In a tabloid interview, Saira Banu said, “I was not just another girl smitten by Dilip Kumar. For me, it was no castle in the air because I had given my dream the strong foundation of faith-faith in myself and faith in God.”
However, it is quite a well-known fact that celebrity marriages never really go without controversies and Dilip-Saira's love story was no exception. In the 1980s, Dilip Kumar got entangled in a controversial love affair with Asma, a Pakistani lady. Two years later Dilip broke up with Asma and came back to Saira. Amidst all the ebb and flow of life, the two have stood beside each other like a rock, considering one another to be the greatest gift of God.
